Reply to "Biologics"

I have had ulcerated areas in the Pouch for 25 years. Your fears are unfounded. Whether you call it Crohn’s or Pouchitis makes no difference as the treatments are the same and all that matters is how you respond to them. I used antibiotics alone for around 22 years and over 3 years ago added Remicade which really improved things. I should note that I have probably had, in 25 plus years, two scopes that didn’t show ulcerations. Clean up your diet, see how the antibiotics work, get scoped regularly, and if it doesn’t clear then incorporate biologics. You will not likely lose your Pouch unless you do not respond to treatment and dietary changes, and most with same these issues do respond to treatment, so it’s premature to be worrying about Pouch failure.
